Incompetent leadership and no product direction - Anonymous employee Voxy Employee Review

The senior team created a culture of fear. People were afraid to share opinions especially with Katie and Paul. If you did share an opinion you were berated, made to feel stupid, or told very harshly to do what Paul wanted anyways. Any push back was seen as insubordinate especially if you are a woman. Women are not respected at all at Voxy. It is nice to read that they finally have their own bathroom and actually promoted a non senior team member woman but it was not that way while I was at Voxy. I agree with the previous posters in regards to how women are treated. While at Voxy I was told that I should be more flowery and emotional. I guarantee that a man never received that review at Voxy. The 50 hour work week that is mentioned in the employer responses seems like spin. I routinely worked over 10 hours a day, answered emails when I went home, and was expected to be available on the weekends. Working on weekends was typical before a feature launch because Katie or Paul would freak out and make the team completely change everything. The language classes sounded nice in the beginning but they are a job requirement, not a perk. You must attend at least one class a week. This is great for some but for others they became burdensome and there was no way not to go. The other critical postings really sum up what working at Voxy was like.
